@colinhoult Amazing show last night, Colin. Made me laugh and cry. Loved your blend of humour for such important messages on love and mental wellness in today’s world. Thank you 🙏🦖🧡
@TherapyMind Hi Adam, great to connect at TSOL a while back. I just sent you an email (in case it hits junk), would love your thoughts. Thanks V much 🙏
Can anyone recommend any reading on the Madonna-Whore Complex? Psychoanalytical origin and treatment informed, not pop. Thank you so much for any thoughts. Please write a thread @rascality@bitesizetherapy@BrightonPsych@JonathanShedler 🙏😃
5/ the therapy relationship, you start to recognize & understand your patterns—and can ultimately free yourself from them
Discussing what goes wrong in the therapy relationship is a gateway to greater self-knowledge & psychological freedom
This is what it means to work in depth
There are instagram "therapists" claiming they book 5-10 new clients per month via social media
This tells you
1️⃣They are incompetent & cannot engage people in ongoing psychotherapy
2️⃣They're attracting people who are not coming for actual therapy
It's not the flex they think
Why don't self help books bring about meaningful change? Why, when we understand what happened to us, does that not change how we perceive the world and others in it?
The answer to both these questions is virtually the same. 🧵
